The unabated political violence in Kerala has claimed one more victim, while two others remain critical. A BJP worker, who suffered grievous burns after political rivals from CPI (M) set his house on fire, succumbed to his injuries on Friday at Jubilee Mission Medical College in Thrissur.

The attack happened on 28 December at Kanjikode in Palakkad. Radhakrishnan, 55, had been rushed to the hospital with 60% burns on his body. He was admitted along with his brother Kannan and his wife Vimala, who had also suffered burn injuries in the attack.

Three CPI(M) workers were arrested last week for the attack, a few others are still absconding.
